Excellent read James!!! And just think about it......that 7.8% is for Black Baseball Players in ALL positions on the field. Don't even get me started on the minuscule number of Black Pitchers (starters and relievers)!! Like you, I hope MLB thinks about starting some baseball academies in the States. Maybe regionally in urban areas?? There has to be a way to encourage our gifted young Black men to pick Baseball instead of settling for other professional, easier accessible sports.
